CHINA

On the last day of CHINAPLAS 2021, as everyone expected, there were not many visitors from abroad, but the domestic audience grew by 24%. Even so, the venue is still very lively and full of business opportunities. Although the pandemic has affected buyers from various countries to participate in the event, China has already accumulated a considerable amount of market demand, so this exhibition is equally hot.

The pandemic was quickly brought under control in China, but the impact on the world is still huge. Even so, the plastic circular economy is advancing in a prolonged manner, and the plastic value industry chain needs to be adjusted, upgraded and innovated! We have also observed that even under the strict quarantine policy, many manufacturers are willing to invest a lot of cost to come to the exhibition, like the Italian manufacturer FIMIC.

As the biggest plastics and rubber industry exhibition, CHINAPLAS has opened the doors last week in Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center to welcome its exhibitors and visitors. PRM was at the field to report the on-site observations of this outstanding event with its international audiences.

In 2020, under the impact of the new pandemic, in addition to the impact in the first quarter and a slight slow down in performance, after the pandemic was brought under control, demand in China experienced a blowout effect. Alfa’s orders exploded, and the production capacity of the two factories in Dongguan and Suzhou under full-load operation, the delivery time will still be longer than that of 2019 by 10-30 days.

Many Taiwanese manufacturers are affected by the quarantine policy and cannot participate in this year's CHINAPLAS. On the contrary, it is time for FCS, a manufacturer that has been deeply involved in the Chinese market for many years, to show its talents! In addition to its Taiwan factory, FCS has established four injection molding machine production bases in Dongguan, Ningbo Jiangbei, India, and Ningbo Hangzhou Bay New District.

Faced with CHINAPLAS, which has been delayed for one year, Taiwan Kinki benefited from the establishment of factories in Dongguan and Ningbo on the mainland in 1991. It not only took over the Chinese market in the third quarter of last year, but also rebounded due to rapid response to the early termination of the supply chain phenomenon. Urgent orders, but also insight into market demand, this year CHINAPLAS exhibited two standard machines, and boldly predicted that the Chinese market will be the first major market to recover after the end of the epidemic!

CHINAPLAS, Asia’s No. 1 plastics and rubber trade fair, to be held during April 13-16 in Shenzhen, PR China, together with a series of exciting concurrent events, to explore hot topics like 5G, digital manufacturing, circular economy, antibacterial & sterilization etc. with the shareholders in the industries.

In recent years, many restrictions caused by pandemic COVID-19 reveals the importance of online marketing once again. Past year, many exhibitions have been canceled or postponed, manufacturers and buyers needed to overcome travel restrictions to visit each other. Many industries, including the plastics and rubber industry, required a rapid transformation to promote products online and to communicate through online platforms.
